Custom Canvas Wall Art to Beautify Your Home

wedding portrait wall hanging
Wall Art Canvas by AdoramaPix

Back in September of 2014 my beautiful daughter got married to her longtime boyfriend. They had a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor reception. In total, about 175 family & friends attended the event.

As you can imagine, I have over 1,000 professional photos and snapshots from that special day. I’ve been trying to think of creative ways to preserve those memories for them and one way is with a beautiful hanging canvas wall art.

AdoramaPix is your one-stop shop for personalized and customized photo printing, canvas wall art, photo books, calendars, metal prints, acrylic prints and more! They have it all!

Custom Canvas Wall Art

For the review I had AdoramaPix make us a customized canvas from a photo from the wedding day. This photograph was professionally taken of my daughter, her new husband and my grand daughter.

I selected the type of item I wanted (Canvas Print) and uploaded my photo to AdoramaPix. I then cropped it, made sure it looked alright and then selected the size. You will want to decide if you want it on a stretched canvas, with gallery wrapped sides and/or framed. You get a lot of options to choose from so that you get exactly the look that you want.

The entire process was really easy and within 1 week our beautiful new art canvas arrived. It comes packaged really nicely in a shipping carton and arrived in perfect condition. Top notch service and packaging!

The piece is ready-to-hang right out of the box. We hung it up in our family room to take photos for this review but I am going to take it down & hide it as I want to give it to the kids for their 1st wedding anniversary. I think it will be a treasured gift for years to come and it turned out beautifully!

AdoramaPix is an awesome company and I am very pleased with the quality of this canvas, their fast shipping service and well…an all-around great company to work with. Head on over to AdoramaPix and take a look around. You will find some amazing things!

As a woman, I love going shopping for new apparel and accessories. With that said, I am pretty picky about what I buy for myself, my family and the items I buy to give as gifts. I shop for unique pieces that are quality-made, affordable and versatile.

Let me introduce you to Texere Silk where you will find beautiful hand painted silk apparel and home decor items for men, women and children. TexereSilk.com is a business unit within New England Mercantile Group, LLC (NEMG), a Connecticut-based global sourcing company with offices in Asia.

Texere Silk practices as a socially responsible and ethical sourcing company. As an integral part of their work, NEMG promotes rare and endangered art forms from around the world. I would like to invite you to read more about this company’s fabulous socially responsible business practices by visiting this specific page on their site.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and now is the time to shop for your special romantic gifts or buy something for yourself to wear on Valentine’s Day!

Women's Silk Robe from Texeresilk

The company sent me a gorgeous 100% Silk Women’s Short Robe in a beautiful Rose Bouquet print to review for all of you. In the past, I’ve reviewed 2 previous items for this company and I can honestly tell you that I am more impressed with them each time!

For the purpose of this review, I had my mother model the silk robe for us. We did it outside (our power was out) so please excuse the not-so-perfect photos with the wind howling 30 mph.

The robe is made out of 100% super smooth 19mm silk. It is cut in a kimono style and features exquisite hand painted bouquets of red and pink roses. It has red trim around the sleeves, collar, pockets and includes a self-tie belt. There are front pockets on each side and an inside modesty tie to keep the robe securely closed.

Hand washing is recommended but you can also machine wash (gentle cycle) and it is dry cleanable. Personally, I washed mine twice on the gentle cycle and hung it to air dry…looks perfect!

I really love the Kimono style because it is cut in a relaxed way and allows me to wear slinky or heavy-weight items underneath it. I don’t know about all of you, but I don’t like skin-tight robes that cling all over me. This one is cut beautifully and fits like a dream! Furthermore, I love that it’s not an all-over “gaudy” looking floral pattern…it’s done very tastefully and it’s not too much at all. Just perfect!

This would make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to give to your sweetie (hint to all of the guys out there) or buy it for yourself and wear it for Valentine’s Day to surprise your special someone!

Head on over to Texere Silk and take a look around. I know you will love what you see!
